Abstract
A computing device comprising a processor, the processor configured to: receive, from an image capture system, an image captured in an environment and image metadata associated with the image, the image metadata comprising an image capture time; receive a sound recognition message from a sound recognition module, the sound recognition message comprising (i) a sound recognition identifier indicating a target sound or scene that has been recognised based on captured audio data captured in the environment, and (ii) time information associated with the sound recognition identifier; detect that the target sound or scene occurred at a time that the image was captured based on the image metadata and the time information in the sound recognition message; and output a camera control command to said image capture system based on said detection.
